Letters Patent No. 106,889, dated August 30, 1870.

COMBINED FURNACE AND TBA-KETTLE.

The Schedule referred to in these `Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

To all persons to whom these presents may come:

Be it known that we, CnBnA L. TAYLOR and GEORGE G. SETCHELL, otGreenville, of the county' ot N ew London and State of Connecticut, haveinvented a Combined Furnace and Tea-Kettle; and do hereby declare thesame to be fully described in the following specification, andrepresented in the accortipanying drawing, of which- Figure 1 is a top'view;

Figure 2, a front elevation Figure 3, a longitudinal section; and

Figure 4, a transverse-section of it.

In' such drawing- A denotes a furnace having the form of a hollow conicfrustnm, and being open at top, and provided a bot-tom with a grate, a.

. The furnace so made is arranged concentrcally within a tea-kettle, B,the furnace being projected a short distance above the top of thekettle, and having the projecting portion b furnished with a Series ofholes, c, made through it.

A cover, O, formed as shown in side elevation in Figure 5, and insection i the figs. 3 and 4, fit-s into the mouth or upper end of thefurnace, and is pro vided with a series of openings d d, to correspondin position, number, and size with the holes c, the said cover, with itsholes and the holes c, serving as an airregister for the furnace, aswell as for other useful purposes. o Y

The main bodyt of the .tea-pot, not only surrounds the fui-nace, butthere is an extension, e, from the bot-tom j' of the said body,l whichalso encompasses the furnace, opens into the body, and is closed atbottom, the said extension being to enter the boiler or kettle-receivingoritice of a stove or cooking-range,

'A smoke-passage or tine, g, is led out of the furnace, and laterallythrough the extension e, the whole being as shown in iig. 3.

11`urthermore, the body of thetea--kettle is furnished with a handle, h,and a discharging-spout or nose, i.

It also has, at its top, a filling-orifice, opening, or mouth, k,furnished with a cap or stopper, l.

On supplying the kettle with water or a liquid, putting iuel inthefurnace, and setting fire to such fuel, and afterward inserting thekettle-extension into the boiler-receiving hole of a stove or range, thesmoke from the fuel will be caused to escape by the tine g into thedischarging-Hue of the stove.

The heat of the fuel in the furnace being communicated tothe contents ofthe kettle,l will elevate the temperature thereof, or may be caused todo so to the boiling point. By turning the cover of the furnace so tomore or less open the air-passages of the topof the furnace, air will beadmitted intothe furnace, and. over the fuel, so as either to facilitateor diminish combustion, as circumstances may require.

'lhe purpose of the furnace so 'combined with thel kettle is to enablethe liquid contents of the latter to 4be heated at anytime, asin summer,for instance,

without the necessity of doing so from a tire made in the grate of astove or range. In winter, however,

Vthe kettle may be heated to great advantage by the Vfire of. such afurnace or range, as the tlame- 0r hot volatile products of combustionmay be caused to pass into thefnrnace of the tea-kettle, as well asaround the extension of the body.

We claim as our invention- 1. The combined tea-kettle and furnace, asconstructed, with the furnace A arranged within, and extending bothaboveV and below the body t of the teakettle, and having air-openings,c, and a smoke dis-
